Before you record audio

In Germany and many other countries you may only record a spoken conversation if everyone involved agrees — being in the meeting is not consent. Recording without it is a criminal offence (§ 201 StGB, up to three years' imprisonment), even if you are part of the conversation and even if you never share the file.

BlocRec always shows a recording indicator and will never offer a hidden mode.

Quick guide

  1. Pick a mode — screen with camera, screen only, or camera only.
  2. Choose sources — the browser asks for screen, camera and microphone.
  3. Place the camera — drag it in the preview; it snaps to edges and centre. Resize with the handle, the scroll wheel or the slider.
  4. Record — start, pause, stop. On Chrome and Edge the file is written straight to your disk while you record, so length is limited by disk space, not memory.
  5. Floating window — puts your camera and the controls into a window that stays on top of every other program.
  6. Share — download and send the file, use the system share sheet, or (on a paid plan) copy a link that uploaded while you were still talking.

What happens to my data?

On the free plan nothing leaves this computer. The recording is written directly into the file you picked; it never passes through a server. There is no cookie and no banner on this page. The only requests this page is allowed to make at all are listed in its Content-Security-Policy — open DevTools and check.

Two exceptions, both visible there: anonymous, cookie-free usage counters (how many recordings start, how many finish — never any content) go to our EU measurement endpoint, and on a paid plan your video is uploaded to our storage while you record, because that is the thing you are paying for.

Recording conversations

In Germany and many other countries you may only record spoken conversations with the consent of everyone involved (§ 201 StGB — up to three years' imprisonment). BlocRec always shows a recording indicator and will never offer a hidden mode. You are responsible for the recordings you make.

No picture, no sound?

Does it stutter when I switch windows?

It must not. Browsers throttle hidden tabs — then only a few frames per second would reach the video. That is why the timing here comes from the camera and the screen share itself, not from the window. Chrome and Edge use Insertable Streams for this; Firefox and Safari get a fallback driven by a worker timer. If it still stutters, use a lower resolution or 30 instead of 60 frames.
